This tutorial is more for waiters to gracefully poor over a table full of guests, food, and glasses, but I've never seen anyone massage the lip of the bottle like this lady does. It was a bit vulgar and amusing. A simple wipe is adequate.
Nice tip about the towel for chilled wine. I'll only try to sell wine if the place is dead and they've declined cocktails. Two each cocktails for two will usually meet or exceed the cost of wine and is MUCH less time consuming for the server. PLUS, opening a bottle of wine can spread to other tables. The bartender will expect U to tip HIM as much for wine that he hands you as for drinks that he makes for you so the ? you should be asking yourself is "which is faster for me"
I have worked as a waiter for big functions; often for the military and government departments. wine pouring is the bane of my existence, that and setting a table. table placements are so arbitrary and stupid. i've wasted countless hours re-tilting or readjusting wine bottles, forks, knives etc.... so they are just right.
0:07 Make sure to hold the bottle as awkwardly as you can, maximizing the pretentiousness level while explaining how it is the correct manner of holding a wine bottle.
I have tended bar for over 6 years and have to say.. I have only had one of these anal douchebags whine about wine pouring. (pun intended). He liked the way I poured, but then launched into this diatribe on how TGI Friday's never pours correctly. I wanted so bad to tell him.. NO ONE CARES EXCEPT YOU DEPRESSED, GLORIFIED ADDICTS!! I wanted so bad to kick him in the balls.
The label should face the consumer the entire time of pouring. The pour should hit the center of the glass to release the bouquet. When stopping the pour the bottle should be lifted slowly and the hand turned so that the drip slinks down and runs down the right side of the label.
1st of all, if you really want to impress me or any true wine enthusiast you need to pour it into a decanter. that does 2 things; 1) it helps the wine breathe improving the palate, and 2) helps keep any particles/sediment from ending up in your glass. Oh and it looks cool too, so i guess 3 things. as for the cloth and holding the bottle all stupid, no one but stuck up assholes and restaurant managers care about that shit.
I work in a fine dining restaurant and thinks that this tutorial is all wrong. The steps are fine but the ways she does it is way too sloppy. That is not how you wipe the bottle at all.
You say you work in a fine restaurant but fail to tell us which one. Also, you say she pours it wrong but yet you yourself don't tell us how to pour. She does a fine job in the vid.
lol, your funny. she does get the wine out of the bottle in a glass, but there is a ceremony to pouring wine, and it was sloppy for a fine dinning restaurant, but stuff spinning the bottle at the end of the pour is a great hint for everyone who drinks wine.
Nice video, however, wish the video started with her opening the wine. Would be great if there was a video staging a server at the dining table providing wine service to customers.
Personally i swallow as much as i can as fast as i can out the bottle, followed of course by 30 diazepam and 3 weeks of trying to peice empty black spots of my life back together.
@OhSoAle Maybe you should start giving a flying fuck about not only proper wine tasting (not getting drunk beyond recognition) and language. I do realize we are Internet users, but some manners would be advisable.
@BlurbFish haha im doing a catering course at collage and you are supposed to hold it at the bottom for some reason mainly tradition but so it doesnt spill
@BeckyBoo1532 The funny thing about dining traditions is that they mostly have roots in plain logic and simplicity, it's not about looking nice.
The reason why holding at the middle of the bottle is better than holding at the bottom, is because you'll have better control of the bottle. Holding at the bottom will not prevent spilling in any way - spill depends on angle and (lack) of twisting.
@VoidOnTuesday I'm not sure that would go as "classy" outside of a cheap night club with prepubescent kids. Maybe you could elaborate a bit on how it's "more classy" than holding a woman around the waist?
lol, no. You don't wipe the bottle with a napkin. Cleaning off cork dust? If you wipe like that you'll knock just as much debris in as off. Also, if you can properly twist the bottle as you stop pouring, there won't be any wine to wipe off.
P.S. I don't just pour a 1/3 of a glass of wine, the type of glass will determine the volume of wine to pour. Which is almost always 5oz.
hehe but does ur boss know that u drink during ur shifts, u obviously are not very confident within urself. im sure u hv enough experience to not b nervous. she doesnt even hold the bottle or napkin right lol
why do we have to pour it that way im fine with just drinking from the bottle howcast
